[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 340459, member: 3527"] I agree that it sounds like this could be something besides ADHD. I would agree with MidwestMom, possibly high-functioning autism....or my other thought was Bipolar Disorder. The reason I say that is because Bipolar in children is VERY FREQUENTLY misdiagnosed as ADHD, and the kids are given stimulants. But...giving a kid with a mood disorder a stimulant, simply makes them turn into miniature demon terrorists... I definitely recomment the thorough evaluations, neuropsychologist, the whole works...to be sure...but I think in the meantime, definitely talk to doctor about the stimulants. Not taking them won't correct his problems, but giving him the wrong medications won't either... [/QUOTE]
